Amazing and other adjectives
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book was in absolutely fantastic condition when I bought it, and it is a good read. Good service, and good shipping. It came later than expected, but earlier than what they said it would. I guess I should read the estimated shipping dates, but it came sooner than that and in awesome condition. Good buy all around. Thank you for the book, and when the 6th one comes out, I will buy from you again.
Warning: Even Largo's getting w33py
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Megatokyo was the brainchild of two rather different creators, who since fell out in 2002, and Megatokyo 5 shows this. The rather chaotic Largo has been gone from the series for a few years, and the more angsty Piro has given emo scenes to pretty much every main character in the book. Still, the art is getting better and better. Longtime Megatokyo readers will find subtle foreshadowing and other nuances reading an entire chapter that they may have missed when reading the online site every other day. Highly recommended, but watch out for the tears in your b33r.
Four Stars Made Five
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
For first-time readers -- start with this one. For old fans -- this is probably the best book yet. It has the regular two chapters, 7 and 8, plus omakes, Dead Piro Art Days, and all that jazz. What really sets this book apart from the others is a mind-blowingly comprehensive reader's guide with character summaries and pictures and the plot so far. All of the regular stuff, of course, is excellent, with the eighth and ninth chapters (numbered 7 and 8, just to make it confusing), with the greatest section of the plot so far and probably the best-drawn manga that I have ever seen. There's also the "Shirt Guy" Dom pullout section (perforated for removal) and the Dead Piro Art Days, single-shot panels that are amazingly drawn. The book's real hit, however, is the reader's guide, prfect for a first time reader. Any person could probably, after reading the guide, simply pick up the story from chapter 7 and be able to understand anything that happens. The reader's guide is what makes a great four-star book into an amazing "I loved it!" five star book.
